Why does it seem like out of most of the teams in the league we are one of the only ones who fail to get anything done with our starting line up. I'm sure it'll change (hopefully) once the season starts, but I've been watching other teams go up and down the field while we're settling for FGs or punting our asses off.

Since 2005 the Colts are 4-24 in the preseason.

"If they start giving out trophies and people's jobs depend on preseason," general manager Chris Polian said, "we'd probably have to re-evaluate our approach at that point.

"But it doesn't (count).''

Over that stretch, they're a league-best 75-21 in the regular season.

Yes, everyone watches every moment of every preseason game and is trained & expert enough to make the proper evaluations. Everyone knows exactly what the progress is and what is the purpose of each play call in terms of evaluating all of the myriad of players on each of the 32 NFL teams.

I think that, what it comes down to, is that the average fan just doesn't understand that the preseason is about player evaluation - not team performance.

It's not an awful dome as people make it out to be, it's just that its become outdated considering all of the new stadiums and domes that have been built.

There are times that I wish this place didn't thrive on loose moderation so that I could just ban people just because I want to. This is one of those times.

face, what is the use of having power if you can't abuse it every once inna while
go nuts someday and ban everybody that pisses you off, hell ban everybody that annoys you
every body with numbers in thier name what they gonna do ban you?

Funny, I actually thought we made a lot of progress in this last game.

We did make progress. Our 1's played equal to their 1's, and our 2's played well against their 1's. Of course our 3's get killed by their 2's, run up the score, and people use that to judge the game. It doesn't make sense but its not really shocking when you see the outbursts that came from the Haley shake with Harbaugh and the locker room fight.

We ran a vanilla offense against a defense that blitzed nearly every play. Not to mention that its a very good defense we faced even without Lewis. You take away the hold from Pope on Jones' run and we could have had more points on the board. That drive looked decent up til that penalty.

Basically all the young players we all wanted to see played well. NT, OLB, on top of that maybe Belcher, Jackson, Cassel, and the Oline is what I am looking at in these games. All of those spots looked good on defense. Cassel was average, but to be fair the play-calls were asking him to take quick drops and make the first pass. The o-line, as pointed out in another thread, played decent enough for Cassel. The next game should be the most telling.

Most of the injuries aren't coming from practice or games, so Haley is getitng what he wants. To me, we arent getting over-powered like people thought we would having started out easy in practice. On top of that, we have 2 more games to get in sync more.
